I have the 32bit version of Vista Ultimate, and my card is the geforce 7950gt. on the site I go to downloads, then in the boxes I choose graphics driver > geforce and TNT2, and in the last box, I dont know what to put.

Hello, My son has a HP 15-ac030nd notebook: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771404/model/8636638/document/c0474011...

Can this videocard be replaced or is it integrated with the motherboard?If it can be replaced, does anyone know what the compatibility criteria are?Is there a risk of overheating with a new videocard?

Dear everyone, To not waste anyone's time I'll try to formulate my question as clear and direct as possible. Additional information that may be important will then be given. In short my question is the following: Is my particular system (HP Elitebook 8570w Mobile Work station, a notebook) compatible with the NVIDIA Quadro K1000M driver for Linux (x64)? The following background information may be useful to see where I'm coming from and to be able to answer my question. Background info:In the past I have installed Linux Ubuntu next to the pre-installed Windows 7 on this machine. Everything worked well except for the video card (dragging windows around the screen wasn't smooth which is very irritating). I assumed that I had to install the correct driver for the video card which is also compatible with Linux. Having done a little searching on the internet I tried both a `default' Linux driver as well as a driver form NVIDIA that was supposed to work with a Linux (x64) system. However the problem was not solved and actually became worse as time progessed. Finally I abandoned the Linux system and went back to Windows altoghether. Now I want to give it another try so I have looked up the driver that is supposed to work with my video card and a Linux (x64) system. At the tab `additional information' however it says the following: Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to... Read more

Ok so i recently bought a GeForce 8800 GTS and i was wondering if anyone knew of any good drivers. I just have the feeling that my card could make my games look better than this and city of heroes says it doesn't even recognize it.

A:Videocard Drivers

The latest NVidia drivers can be found here: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

Hi guys, I have a problem with my videocard drivers or operating system. i'm not really sure.

The problem is when I'm moving a folders they have tail following them. just like with computers without any videocard drivers. but not so slow. the tail shows up and disappears faster than computers without videocard drivers but still this tail is very noticeable and annoying.
I hope you guys understood..

I installed newest driver for my videocard available on ati.amd.com support site.
also i installed newest drivers for my motherboard from asus support site.
nor of them didnt help.

I have a ASUS P5P800 motherboard and a radeon 9600 videocard.

running computer with ubuntu 9.4 doesnt have these problems.

what could be the reason for such computer behavior? please help me out..

I'd like to update the drivers of the videocard: evga engtx260. Should I get the drivers from nvidia or from evga? And if there are many versions, which one is the best?

I also noticed this update from windows updates: "nVidia - Display - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260". Is this another driver a have to install?

A:videocard drivers engtx260

Always and only from nvidia site. If you want the last best 0.4% performance out of the card, search some enthusiast forums for benchmarks comparing different driver versions, if you're happy with a well working driver, just go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and choose your card, choose your OS and hit search.

Hello.I've installed Win 10 on my laptop (Inspiron 5721) and i have a problem with videocard. Before new Win, i had Win 7 and i had video drivers installed. Now i can't do this. I've downloaded drivers from dell's site (http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/inspiron-17r-5721/drivers/advanced). I was installing drivers with AC adaptor plugged in. When i'm installing driver from dell site, it freezes on install tab. (I've waited for more than 15 mins). Wneh i try to install from amd website, i choose drivers from AMD Radeon™ R9 M200, R7 M200, R5 M200, HD 8500M - HD 8900M, and HD 7700M - HD 7900M? Series for Win 10 it propose me to install only Setup Manager (20 mb) and it was installed successfully. When i had win 7, i have drivers installed and everything was good, now i even can't see AMD 8730M in Device Manager. Also i tried different windows. And on the AMD Community site we can see that it's very popular problem (1. https://community.amd.com/message/2672231 2. https://community.amd.com/message/2664340 3. https://community.amd.com/message/2751149

I try to install the drivers for my videocard and integrated sound, but it fails to work. When I go into the Device Manager after reboot, it still says that the drivers are not installed. On top of that my video is choppy and games don't work. This comes after a reformat.

I have an old HP Pavilion ze4900 and just recently re-installed XP Home SP3 on it, everything is working fine except the WiFi card. (looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/cax3xwe) It's a Linksys Wireless-B Notebook Adapter (WPC11 ver.4). Device manager tells me I'm missing an "Ethernet Controller" (the driver for the card is missing). I've searched the web but none of the drivers I've installed so far seem to get the card working.

When I tried to install windows 7 Home premium (Dell) on my pc, I get this message...All it gives is only OK, Cancel and Browse options...I tried browsing everywhere in my pc but it didn't solve that...Hope someone would help me...

The actual message is:
"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash
drive, please insert it now. Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step." <Browse> <OK> <Cancel>

A:"No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok"

I have had the same problem on an Acer laptop. My issue was that I tried to install via the USB 3.0 port. Both external dvd and usb/iso failed. Iserting the USB stick into the USB 2.0 port, and installed flawlessly.

Hi, I have question. I have installed Windows 8.1 on second PC and it already had installed lot of drivers. But most of these drivers are from Microsoft and from year 2006 i think. For example, when I have actually installed by default "High Definition Audio" (Windows provided driver), it is Realtek High Definition audio but driver is outdated. Then I downloaded from Realtek webpage driver, and what should I do now?

1. Is better to uninstall this old driver inside device manager and then open downloaded setup.exe then reboot

OR

2. When I just open setup.exe to install driver?

Which method is correct?

//EDIT

I also want to ask about one thing, when I was installing Windows. When I created new partition with full size of HDD, it has maximum size. But when I format that partition it has like 0.3gb less.

A:Which way is correct, when updating drivers

I just install the newer manufacturer supplied drivers over the existing Windows default driver. It hasn't caused me any issues that I know of. The default drivers will likely just automatically reinstall anyway after a reboot etc. You'll lose some space to the file system when you format the drive.

Hello there, I just did a clean install on my laptop and attempted to download the drivers. I downloaded the drivers directly from the HP site from this page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-G62-Notebook-PC-series/4247529/model/5042898 Yet, it appears that my display, wireless hardware are still not working. My screen still has a zoomed view originally from the clean install, and I am unable to connect to my network. Not sure how else I can check what's going wrong. Attached is an image of my desktop with all the drivers that I installed. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

A:Installing Correct Drivers?

I see some of the right drivers there but you definitely need this one for video: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp48001-48500/sp48275.exe This one for wired ethernet: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp49501-50000/sp49521.exe To figure out which wifi you have we are going to need to check the device ID in device manager but the wired driver above will at least get you on the internet.

hello
I recently did a fresh install of windows and proceeded to install all needed drivers both with the Intel and gigabyte website and the remaining with a driver scanner
The problem I am having is although there is definitely power going to my usb 3 ports, they are not getting recognised nor can windows find the drivers.
Before installing the standalone driver I get usb bus connection as yellow triangle error 29 I think and with the USB driver (tried multiple different sources and sites) I get USB 3.0 extensible driver with yellow triangle and error code 10
I have searched the ven and dev codes for the correct drivers but nothing seems to work
Any help is greatly appreciated thank you

My cousin bought a computer that had BSOD. Since he couldn't fix it he brought it to me to reformat it. It originally had windows vista and the previous owner upgraded it to windows 7. Since he bought it with no discs he couldn't figure out how to fix so he gave it to me to just format to XP(legit copy).

Now i didn't know it came with vista before i formatted the frickin thing and now i cant any of the correct drivers. Dont even know if they exist.

Hi, I am trying to set up my external modem to use and older set of drivers for it to be able to work. Every time I download the older ones it seems to install the most recent ones. I am on OS 8.1.

I am trying to install the one from here: [FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]http://www.hiroinc.com/drivers/H50113/ using 8.1 64 bit. This should be H501103. How can I install the older drivers instead of the most recent ones.

thx[/FONT]

A:Solved: Need correct drivers

Found driver for Vista, XP, Windows 2000 and Windows 98. No idea on whether they will work with Windows 8.1 or not.

I was wondering if any of the &#8220;free PC scan&#8221; type advertisements are worth bothering with, or if they are all just scams to get you to purchase their software.I am only really interested in the ones that claim to find hardware device drivers. I have installed a couple of these in the past without much satisfaction. The idea of this magic wand approach appeals to me though, as I have always struggled to get the drivers I need (for windows xp).

I have a Dell Latitude 1501 and have visited the Dell website where I enter my service tag and get shown a list of recommended software (http://support.dell.com/support/dow...bIndex=&scanSupported=False&scanConsent=False).

I have installed some of them, but they do not address the problems outlined in the device manager. I simply don&#8217;t know what to install for each of the problematic devices: Base System Device, Ethernet Controller, Network Controller and SM Bus Controller.

I am having issues finding the correct drivers for the hp prodesk 600 G1 as well as the HP Prodesk G2's. I have downloaded all of the drivers from the HP site, but when applied they still show up as missing in the device manager. This applies to 32x and 64x accorss man machines. Was hoping the drivers on the support site could be updated, as after downloading them ALL multiple times and trying them I still have the issue. Also the driver recover cd that comes with these computers do not have the proper drivers either....

It don't seem like this is correct keyboard drivers on my laptop. Is there something missing because the Esc, Enter, some of the F#, Fn, some of the letters and windows key just quit working one day. I've tried acer support and basically they just want money. Tried windows tips, uninstall and reboot and even did a complete reinstall of os. still dont work. On screen keyboard works fine, but annoying to use.

A:Is this correct keyboard drivers

That looks like the correct drivers. The problem is the keyboard. Replace the keyboard. I had to do that on an Acer laptop a couple of years ago. Not too big of a job.

I changed video cards and when I updated my drivers for my current card (via CD) my audio drivers were lost. Now I can't hear any audio through my monitor speakers. I then went to the Compaq website, found the original drivers, but when trying to install them there is a pop-up that says I need the Microsoft Bus Driver.

And even before the installation begins it says I must have the Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Bus Driver before I can install the Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to find them? I am a bit hesitant in doing it myself because I have installed incorrectly in the past. Thanks.

I had to reinstall XP, I believe my soundcard is SigmaTel STAC9750/51 so I downloaded the right drivers but when I try to install I get a message saying "Device object not found". It's very frustrating and I really hope someone can help! Thanks.

hi guys
i have a pc that i want to format so i downloaded the tool from here to see the system specs of course the first thing to check was the motherboard but that was empty!! there was written "to be filled out by oem"
so i physically opened the pc and checked the model the model is INTEL MI5-G41sgmd-LE rev 1.0
but there is no drivers for such a motherboard pleeease help

A:where to find the correct drivers

Download and run Speccy which should give you the information you need. Click on the motherboard tab on the left hand side and post a screenshot of Speccy with that tab selected. Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums

What video and/or graphics drivers do I need to run windows 7 ultimate on a dell optiplex GX280?About 2 years ago, I loaded W7 on this computer and, after help from this forum, I obtained the correct drivers to play my videos and dvd's on multiple players (zoom player, windows media player, etc.). I had given this computer to someone else, but recently got it back, at which time I did a fresh install of W7. However, I don't recall how I did this before.

In vista i used to go into safe mode , add remove nvidia drivers and reboot into normal mode it would install the standard vga drivers. However with windows 7 when you reboot into normal mode it installs these wddm(?) drivers and reboots.

Have the old nvidia drivers been uninstalled? and can i just install any previous beta's or new betas over the top?

EDIT : Just installed over the top of the default windows 7 nvidia drivers on uninstalled reboot, seems to work fine so i'll see how it goes!.

A:Correct way to uninstall nvidia drivers?

You can have 2 option:

- Download the newest driver for your nVIDIA card, use the Un-install feature of the soft to remove the current driver then re-install.

- Use a clearly uninstall program, I suggest to use Your Uninstaller Pro 2008. You can find this software at 9down.com.

I have use these way for my nVIDIA 8600M GT and also my Ati Radeon Mobility 3670, both working well. Hope it good for you too.

Hello, I've often had this problem in the past where I will format my hard-drive or custom-build a new computer, only to find out months later, that one or more of my device drivers are not up-to-date or compatible with their current driver software...

When starting from scratch, what's the best way to ensure all your device drivers are updated/compatible? Like, for example, how do you personally ensure all your device drivers are up-to-date and compatible when starting anew? Go to the manufacturer's website for every driver? Or what? Are there any software tools out there that can help in this process?

Just curious, because I've always just kind of methodically and tediously gone to every manufacturer's website but I always seem to end up down the road with driver conflict problems...

Any advice here would be useful.

A:How do I make sure all of my drivers are correct/up-to-date?

The best option as you have already surmised is to go to the manufacturers websites.
Commonly there aren't a great deal of driver updates to check, but the ones that should be updated, especially if you are planning on migrating to Windows 7 are:

Video card driver (if discrete/seperate):
nVidia : from manufacturer preferably if GeForce 7xxx series or earlier, or direct from nVidia if unavailable, or 8xxx series or later.
ATI Radeon: Direct from ATI

Hello i have a toshiba satellite a300d-155 .I am running windows 7-64 bit.When i open the device manager i have two devices with a yellow exclamation mark .After searching i could not find drivers for them .

So I recently upgraded the T410 back to W7 from WXP, and it's missing some drivers.But this list of downloads over on Lenovo Support has so many options and I genuinely have no idea which ones to download. Any help please?

It tells me everything about my computer, the name of the hardware, and much more.
After looking up my hardware, i google search the latest drivers using the information from Everest.

Is anybody familiar with this program? How accurate is the information it provides?
Is there a better way?

I've looked up drivers in the past and there were so many options to choose from sometimes, i didn't even know where to begin to look to figure it out.

Any feedback or tips would be appreciated.

A:Best Method for Finding Correct Drivers?

I don't know, seems like most of the info is already available with device manager and system properties. However, for a similar program to Everest Ultimate, I prefer Belarc Advisor which is easier to read and free (no 30 day trial).

I just reloaded windows 7 and checked for updates but it said the laptop is up to date but I am seeing 2 problems, the dvd video looks choppy and I can access the net with a wired connecttion and not seeing any wireless option but in the DM it shows that the Network Controller driver is not installed so I am guessing that's why I am not seeing a wireless option? I am looking here but there are too many drivers listed, can anyone tell me exactly whic drivers I should try for the video and wireless please?http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID..

A:Need correct video and wireless drivers?

what is the model number and brand of ypur computer? Did it originally come with Windows 7?

I've aquired this older computer AMD 333mHz, 64mb RAM, 4MB Diamond Stealth II S220 video, Aurora Vision (Shinho) SM583B Monitor, d-link 10/100 nic. I cloned a hard drive I had currently (HDD was clean upon arrival). (Running win98se) I Installed a CD-ROM drive, downloaded and installed the video driver, downloaded and installed the Monitor driver. The software for the video driver is running, the display settings show that I can change the screen area all the way up to 1600x1200, and Show that I can adjust the color to 32 bit. Whenever I try and adjust these, windows tells me it will take a few seconds, the screen may flicker and then informs me that my desktop has been changed, do I want to keep the settings? The thing is, everything is still the same. I already unistalled/installed the video card, switched PCI slots, restated windows several times after changing the settings, switched between large/small fonts. What to try next? The max this display will give me is 640X480, 256 colors...

A:Display settings not correct, drivers installed

When you change the settings, before you click ok (I think) you should see a change in the little preview window'Do you see that change?

John

PS you should also see a little dialog box that says do you want to save (keep?) these changes. If you don't say yes it defaults back to old settings.

hi all i have no sound on a HP XT983 after instaling a new harddrive i can't seem to find the correct sound driver please help

A:HP Pavillion XT983 correct soud drivers

HP publishes updates to Pavilion Desktop software and drivers. If no updates are available, you already have the latest software and drivers from HP on your system. HP Pavilion systems with Windows XP do not come with recovery CDs. Use the following steps to restore a software application or driver in Windows XP: Click Start, All Programs, HP Tools, and then Application Recovery. In the Recovery window, select either Drivers or Applications as desired and click Next. Select the software driver or application that is to be reinstalled and click Next. The driver or application will automatically be installed. Some programs will take longer to install than others.

You may also obtain updated software and drivers from the manufacturer of the specific software or hardware, or by using Windows Update . Since you have installed a new HD and, I assume an OS, you will have lost HP Tools and Application recovery. Try windows update

I'm preparing to buy an SSD for my HPE-570t One of the steps that one of the acronis Videos says to do, download all of your drivers from your computer manufacter's website. HP lists 17 "Original Drivers" for my model. My question is: of those 17 which are specific to my 570t? And should I be downloading the original drivers, from when I bought this computer? As an aside, I did have to upgrade the Nvidia driver for my GT440 , (from NVidia's site,) to get the "Nvidia Inspector" (a 3rd paty program,) to work.

I apologize if this has already been discussed, I've just recently joined the forum. My main hard drive recently failed. I got a new one, reinstalled windows and got my graphics card and everything else installed, along with drivers. I cannot seem to get my system to get my audio back up and running. I have an XPS 420 running Vista Home Premium 64 with HDA 7.1 channel audio. I know I need RealTek but every time i try to install it, it doesn't "take" and just recognizes it as "High Definition Audio Device". Also, I had an IDT Control Center that came along with it. The drivers on my disc didn't seem to work, the only luck I've had is a Sigmatel codec but it doesn't appear to have everything that everything back to the way it was after the install. Any help would be insanely appreciated.

Just got my system ack up and running, and now i have run into a bit of an issue, preventing me from validating my windows and doing most things.

I made a total restart, and have only stock windows 7 HoPr installed. When i tried to install a missing screen driver, i noticed that i was unable to go to the internet. I apparently have missing Ethernet and network controller drivers. Obviously, one would normally hit the update driver button, but since i do not have any means of getting the computer connected to the internet. i cannot.

So put it simple: I need to know how and where to download the missing drivers. And if there are any specific procedures, i will need some kind of tutoring, as i am kinda new to most of these things.

Additional info: It is a Desktop pc. The green flashing light where the cable goes is not flashy, at all. its solid green.

A:Freshly installed win 7 Missing drivers. (not sure if correct tab)

Go to the Support Downloads webpage for your model to download the ethernet or LAN driver to stick or CD, install as Admin on the PC.

Then go directly to Windows Updates to do all of your Important and Optional Updates which should deliver any newer drivers.

If any drivers are missing after all Updates are done, import them also from the Support Downloads webpage for the PC or Device model.

I've been having a heck of a time getting the correct chipset drivers for a Gateway NE522. The machine originally came installed with Windows 8 and of course I want windows 7 on it. I cant seem to find the right chipset drivers and SM Bus drivers so that the laptop will see the touchpad. Everything else works fine but for some reason it doesn't recognize the touchpad. Help!!

A:Gateway Ne522 needs correct chipset drivers

Hi Looking at the Getway Website ... It seems they do not provide Chipset Drivers .. For a lot of their Models ..

It could be included in one of the Applications .. I think the Chipset you need is the AMD A68M Fusion

toshikijima, you helped me last year with a problem I was having with finding the correct drivers for windows 7 ethernet controllers on a p4s800d-x motherboard. I am having the same exact problem again and I need to find the correct drivers. Here are my hardware ID`s for both ethernet controllers. The first controller is PCI\VEN_1039&DEV_0900&SUBSYS_80A71043 And the second is PCI\VEN_1317&DEV_0985&SUBSYS_05701317 I will appreciate anyone`s help with my problem...Thanks

I have a Dell Latitude, D630 [old now, I know but, perfect for what i'm using it for] I've exchanged the HDD for an SSD, Added extra RAM, Got hold of a Genuine Intel Extreme, X9000, Duo Core CPU, And installed Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium..It runs like a dream, fast, furious, perfect but,Trying to find the correct drivers is sometimes a pain in the backside and as a result my DVD writer no longer burns cd's or dvd's , although it still plays well.Most drivers i've found pretty easy, just by serching for them individually on the Dell driver support site, but some seem to be hard to get hold of because the dell support site recognizes my Dell Latitude D630 but does not recognize the changes i've made. The OS, for example, shows up as XP and there's no option to change it to win764, the only options go up to vista64bit but no higher ??!!??Any help and advice would be great especially since there will be drivers i don't know the name of, therefor, can't do an individual search.Like I said most of it works well, better than well but i'm having a few teething problems.Thank you All, hope to hear something soon, Cheers Comrades!

A:Laptop Mods - having trouble finding correct drivers

Hi j.j.blann,Dell Latitude D630 has not been tested for Windows 7 operating system. However you can use the Windows vista operating system driver and install it on compatibility mode.Any DVD drive on the Windows has a native driver from the operating system. please follow the instructions in the link below to fix the issue with the DVD drive. http://dell.to/1bhPslfIf the Fixit tool does not fix the issue then please perform the manual steps under Resolution 3: Manually fix corrupted registry entries in the link.In addition, I would like to know the ‘Hardware ID’ any hardware with exclamation mark or unknown device.. Please follow the steps mentioned below to find the ‘Hardware ID’ in device manager.

Open Device manager.Right click on the ‘Unknown device’ and select ‘Properties’.Click on ‘Details’ tab.Under ‘Property’ there should be drop down.Please select ‘Hardware IDs’ from the drop down.Please give us the details you find under values.

After asking the guys at the shop who put my computer together to partition the hard drive, they must've forgotten.

I'm a full-time student heading toward a level 6 diploma in ICT, just started learning diskpart, etc. So it's good practice for me to make right what they didn't do.

Have read many forums trying to work out what to do because I can only shrink this Western Digital (WD5000AAKS) 500GB to half it's size (when what I really want is Windows 7 on C drive at only 50GB's).

Have tried a custom install but it asks me for SATA drivers which I cannot for the life of me find to download.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Pauli

P.S: The second part of the problem is RAM related, should I fix that first before doing the fresh install, or? I purchased 4GB of RAM but right clicking computer properties shows Installed memory (RAM): 2.00 GB. Right-clicking on my-PC and choosing properties does show 2 yellow warnings with exclamation marks. The first one is PCI Simple Communications Controller but clicking the update driver part comes back with "Windows was unable to install your..." Windows could not find driver software for your device. It doesn't have any driver provider details (Unkown) so not sure how to go about fixing that?And the second exclamation mark says Unkown Device (could that be the missing RAM?)

A:Correct SATA Drivers for hard disk controller?

1. What kind of motherboard do you have? You'll have to go to their site and get the SATA/RAID drivers for your board.2. 32 or 64 bit? 32 bit will only recognize up to 3.0 or 3.5 GB of RAM.
